Yakovlev 40A RP-C2695 basks in the sun with its underbelly stairs open to the ramp while a piece of canvas has been strewn over its nose. Good job!

She is a Yak no more due to a runway mishap where she busted upon landing a left main gear tire and broke her right main gear at Caticlan.

Let's see, after a period of time, if Asian Spirit's BAe 146 fares better as it flies into Caticlan: World's shortest scheduled regional jet service runway: 3,100 ft!
